... in response to Ferries?, posted by capt david on Nov 11, 2001A Superferry ride from Nasipit to Cebu (8 hrs.) is a very fond memory for me during my courtship time. We had a first class cabin, with private bath, ac, window, and meals in the room (don't remember the cost exactly - I think it was around $25). But I loved the other parts of it best: strolling about the ship in the sunshine, hanging around the bow watching the little flying fish jump from the wake, trying to identify the islands as they went by. In the dining room I spent a few hours playing chess with Sally's brother Alex; the best I could do was draw a game. Those are times I will always cherish.
BTW, toward the end of the trip they said the entire Rosary over the loud speaker system (just in case that sort of thing bothers you).
Next trip I will take the Superferry from Manila to Dumagette. For me it is total relaxation. Manila to Cebu is two days, one night, I think.
